Weekly Poll #239

10. Tragic Magic - This is one of the better Yabba shorts, but I can’t say I’m a fan of that ending.

9. Backstage Scooby - This is one of the better Scrappy shorts. The plot actually had a decent structure to it, instead of aimless messing around imo.

8. The Cursed Cabinet of Professor Madds Markson! - good episode! The two villains were cool-looking.

7. The Sorcerer’s a Menace - I really like the villain! Not a bad episode at all, just a lot of strong competition here.

6. Fright of Hand - Great Be Cool episode with a cool villain! It’s not super memorable to me though.

5. Goblin King - This is an amazing movie that’s among my favorites, but it doesn’t come to mind a ton for the theme, so I didn’t want to put this too high.

4. A Good Medium Is Rare - Even if this episode is a bit weird in places, this one is so fun and I really like the setting of the Magic Mansion.

3. Riva Ras Regas - Really great episode with a strong villain. This has always been a favorite of mine from WNSD.

2. Abracadabra Doo - this is another one of my favorite movies and it fits the theme perfect for me, and is thus really close to #1 for me. However, I ended up voting for it…

1. Scared a Lot in Camelot - Although I could see others putting this a little lower because the stage magic show isn’t a big part of it, I’d argue that the theme is actually well incorporated throughout the episode, since the culprits pull off the Merlin scheme by using their knowledge of stage magic.

The end of #2 should read "However, I ended up voting for this instead..." lol.

8. Only thing I remember is the god-awful fart humor.

5. Odd, that's one of the first ones to come to mind for me. Expected it to be higher for you.

Btw, the Netflix Live-Action Series appesrs twice in the Categories!

1. Not to mention, the magic show is absolutely CRUCIAL to the mystery of the episode

8. It's been so long since I've seen this that I actually didn't remember that lol.

5. It would have been higher, but I don't feel it comes to mind as much as my top 4 for the theme.

Weird, I thought I fixed that, but thank you for pointing it out! It should be fixed now.

10. Tragic Magic - I enjoyed the Great Yabbadini but that ending is just to ridiculous and rushed dropping it into last place.
9. Backstage Scooby - Not great but avoids last place.
8. A Good Medium is Rare - One or two bright moments can't avoid a bit of a mess of an episode in all honesty.
7. The Sorcerer's a Menace.
6. Cursed Cabinet of Madds Markson - One of the better Guess Who episodes.
5. Riva Ras Vegas - Here is where it gets tough. A great episode but can't beat the others.
4. Abracadabra Doo - Controversial maybe, I just feel the whole reasoning is a bit lame. Honestly would make a great premise for a long term Scooby series though.
3. Scared a Lot in Camelot - Love it, just not quite enough.
2. Fright of Hand - AAAAAH Mutant Rabbit, AAAAH Mutant Fred. Just for the absolute absurdity of it.
1. Goblin King - Said it before and will say it again...THE AMAZING KRUDSKY!

8. A highly entertaining mess though.

4. Here's an opinion that's probably even more controversial than not liking Abracadabra Doo: I do not like Madelyn. She's very annoying to me, but I see everyone likes or loves her, I don't get it.

2. That's a template that would work for almost any BCSD episode lol.

1. While not my pick, this one definitely has the most memorable magic scenes out of all the options imo, stage magic or otherwise.

Mr Neither

7/16/2024 08:24:06 am

Becker, all fair comments although I have nothing against Madelyn even if she's not an absolute favourite character of mine.

8. I agree with Becker on this one. I won't argue the writing is very messy, but it's a very entertaining and loveable mess lol.

4. I'd love to see a Scooby series in the style of this DTV!

Matt

7/16/2024 04:15:54 pm

8. I'm with Becker and Wildwind here. When you throw all logic and critical judging standards out the window, it is just too much of a good time for me to hold too much against this

4. I am in full agreement with Becker here actually. I gotta admit, I really thought I would be alone on this one given that the movie is pretty beloved and especially how popular Madelyn is. But I thought the Shaggy and Madelyn plotline was pretty cringey, and I also think she is kinda annoying. Maybe not very annoying like for Becker, but a little

Becker

7/16/2024 04:32:36 pm

The Shaggy/Madelyn plotline is actually what I dislike the most about the movie, it doesn't work at all for me.

Matt

7/16/2024 05:05:07 pm

I gotta agree, worst part of the movie

WildwindVampire link

7/16/2024 08:36:44 pm

It doesn't bother me much, but the Madelyn romance plotline is also my least favorite part of the film.

Abracadabra Doo for me.

10. Cursed Cabinet of Professor Madd Markson- At least more memorable than most episodes from this series for me, but still last place here

9. Tragic Magic- Actually one of the better Yabba episodes if it weren’t for that awful ending. But even then, I could argue the ending is so bad it is kinda funny, but it still earns this spot here

8. Backstage Scooby- I re-watched this one for the list, and it wasn’t bad! It was a lot of being chased around until they got to the magic show itself where it was pretty alright for a Scrappy short

7. Goblin King- It isn’t a secret that this is not one of my favorite movies, and I don’t really care for it. However, I feel like there is enough here to rank it above the other 3

6. Abracadabra Doo- Super hot take, but this one also doesn’t do much for me. I very much prefer some of the next 2010s DTVs that follow this one, especially Camp Scare, but also Mask of the Blue Falcon, Big Top Scooby Doo, and even Phantosaur. At the same time, this is okay. Just because one isn’t a favorite doesn’t mean it is bad, it’s just fine

5. Fright of Hand- Very good Be Cool episode! I like this one a good bit

4. A Good Medium is Rare- The loveable mess as I like to call it. This episode is a complete mess, there are so many loose ends. What happened to that gargoyle? Why was everyone so sinister at the Magic Mansion? Wasn’t everyone involved also part of the crime? And why did they all sneak into the house if it were just the two behind it? It’s one of the weaker episodes of this series because of all of this, but look, this is still a ton of fun. And the Magic Mansion is a really cool setting. This one still has a lot of the elements that I absolutely LOVE about the New Scooby Doo Movies

3. The Sorcerer’s a Menace- Yeah, I am gonna be alone on this one, but this is a really great episode. The clues fit together really nicely in this mystery. I love the Atlantic City boardwalk setting. I really appreciate how the mystery is relatively detailed for the era. Love this one

2. Riva Ras Regas- It really came down to the final 2 though, and there is a large part of me that wants to choose this one. I believe this to be a standout of WNSD, and this is one of my most nostalgic of this series. It is an excellent episode that just barely gets beaten by

1. Scared a Lot in Camelot- Classic, classic episode. There is a reason why this season is one of my favorite seasons of Scooby Doo ever made, and I would say this is about par for this season, if not even a little better than that. Fantastic episode

Becker

7/14/2024 12:32:15 pm

6. I 100% agree with you on this one.

4. This is the most "because reasons" episode of NSDMo, and that's part of the charm imo.

3. As someone who likes but doesn't love this season, this episode is one of the weaker ones. I didn't find the mystery that engaging because the culprit was so obvious. Fred, Daphne and Velma are more invisible than usual. The way the monster is captured is laughable. The humor is good though.

Matt

7/14/2024 03:24:48 pm

4. Pretty much agreed that it is a big part of the charm with this one

3. It is obvious, but I am so used to Scooby episodes being pretty easy to figure out (even in the first three series) that it doesn’t bother me, especially because I have known who is behind all of these for years now lol. But I like how the clues like the dust, the little necklace and the glass blowing booth fit together

4. Ever since we got that scene from "The Secret of Shark Island" recently, I've been super curious if the gargoyle scene was just edited out. Regardless, I still enjoy how crazy this one is and I feel it is a lovable mess.

3. I figured this would be high for you. I'm more on Becker's side with this one and view it as one of the weaker episodes of the season. The setting and villain are great though.

Becker

7/14/2024 12:39:38 pm

Scared a Lot in Camelot is undoubtedly one of the best episodes of the franchise, so I'll go with that one in a heartbeat. Riva Ras Regas isn't top tier WNSD material but still great. Goblin King is such a batshit bizarre movie in the best ways possible. A Good Medium is Rare is also bizarre but in different ways, very fun. Sorcerer's a Menace is alright. Abracadabra Doo isn't my thing, I can't really get into this one. I always forget Fright of Hand exists, it leaves no mark on me. Everything else is piss poor.

WildwindVampire link

7/14/2024 05:27:02 pm

Absolutely agreed on all counts except for Abracadabra Doo. I'll admit "Riva Ras Regas" isn't top tier WNSD, but I remember this one coming on TV a lot when I was younger, so I still have a lot of nostalgia over it.
